Thanks. Can I also upgrade from XP to W7 in boot camp?? How much should I partition??

You can indeed upgrade in Boot Camp. You should partition as much as depending on your needs. At least 10GB for the operating system and then as many GB as you need for your wanted apps, plus another maybe 15/20GB on top of that for stability and extra space for new apps in the future. It's up to you really.

VMs are great. I use and recommend VMWare Fusion. It's so nce not having to reboot, and you can use Spaces to give your VM its own screen. You can run a VM well from an external drive, too. Thunderbolt will rock for that!
